Tanita Tikaram Announces Long-Awaited New Album ‘LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right)’ Nearly four decades after her multi-million-selling debut Ancient Heart, Tanita Tikaram returns with LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right) — a bold and introspective sequel released 10 October 2025 via Cooking Vinyl. Her first album in almost a decade, LIAR finds Tikaram reflecting on how much has changed, and what hasn’t, across a life lived in full view of shifting politics, identity, and personal growth. Where Ancient Heart gave voice to an 18-year-old queer brown woman navigating life in 1980s England, LIAR is its mirror — the mature response of a woman still reckoning with alienation, belonging, and the fractures of modern society. The result is an album of haunting beauty, rich in emotional depth and underpinned by exquisite musicianship, showcasing Tikaram’s distinct voice and singular songwriting. “This just felt right,” says Tikaram. “I see myself both now and then — frustrated, alienated, and in part fearful of the future — they just manifested in different ways.” Tikaram’s cultural resonance has only grown over the years. Featured in the Venice Biennale by Sonia Boyce OBE RA and the National Portrait Gallery, she returned to Glastonbury in 2024 and has built a devoted following on social media, where her insight continues to capture the zeitgeist. With over 73 million streams of her enduring hit “Twist In My Sobriety,” Tikaram remains a maverick icon — unflinching, poetic, and deeply human. LIAR (Love Isn’t A Right) is more than a return: it’s a reckoning, a reflection, and a powerful reaffirmation of community and voice.
